Concentrations

Transactional Services

Very little that happens in the financial services world happens in a vacuum. Goodwin understands the short- and long-term implications of decisions made today and how those may affect our clients’ positions tomorrow. In a world of continual change, convergence and consolidation, experience and perspective are critical. Goodwin has long been regarded for its sophisticated, versatile team of transactional lawyers who provide broad market perspective and serve as business partners on strategic transactions and advise in structuring and developing new and innovative products and services that will have a high impact on business.

Advisory Services

The financial industry is operating in a complex and challenging regulatory environment with the cost of compliance rising, greater implications of big data and technology, heightened cybersecurity measures, and globalization requiring more comprehensive oversight. It is important now more than ever for law firms to possess sophisticated regulatory capabilities and in-depth understanding of the financial markets. Goodwin has its finger on the pulse of regulatory and compliance developments and is uniquely positioned to address the cutting-edge issues that can maximize business opportunities as well as better manage and mitigate risk.

Litigation Services

The financial industry faces unique challenges, some of which can lead to crippling regulatory scrutiny and massive litigation. Goodwin understands those challenges, and we use our deeply rooted knowledge and diverse perspectives of the broad financial services industry to defend our clients in litigation, class actions, enforcement actions and government investigations. As part of Goodwin’s broader Financial Industry team, our lawyers are laser-focused on the distinct issues impacting clients in this industry, and we use a holistic, cross-disciplinary approach to help our clients mitigate risk and defend their interests.
